Gas up the tractor, baby. We’re off and running. I’d like to extend a hearty welcome to all you first-time Bach Fantasy players and grizzled veterans alike. Welcome home. We have wine and we have snark. Mummy loves you.
How ’bout them limo intros? I’m never sure how each crop of contestants is going to top the last, and yet ABC somehow keeps flipping over rocks and scouring bar bathrooms to find the kookiest kooks within the confines of these United States.
One bit of housekeeping before we get to the points: we accidentally omitted three women from yesterday’s scoring template. We caught it about halfway through last’s night show and updated it then. If you downloaded it before roughly 8 p.m. central time last night (or you noticed three ladies were missing from your line-up in your scorecard), you can re-download the correct version here. Apologies!
We also announced the Wildcard Points category on Twitter last night: First Gal to Make a Pun About Farming won 20 points. Hats off to Kaitlyn; something tells us we’d get along.
